Each type of outcome plan can be configured using the Cúram Administration Application to have sharing either enabled or disabled. If sharing is enabled, a multidisciplinary team can be assigned to the outcome plan and upon creation of an outcome plan a collaborative outcome plan is also created to allow the non-agency members of the team to collaborate in the delivery of services to the outcome plan clients. Two types of multidisciplinary team may be associated with a particular type of outcome plan:
The multidisciplinary team may be a predefined in the Cúram Administration Application. The outcome plan user can add a team to the case, however the user is unable to make any modifications to the make up of the team, i.e. new members cannot be added to the team or existing members may not be removed from the team by the user of the outcome plan. The team make up may be changed by an administrator and any updates to the team will automatically be available to any outcome plan to which the team has been assigned. A history of the changes made to the team is available within the outcome plan. In addition, a history of the teams assigned to the outcome plan is also available if more than one team has been used to deal with the outcome plan.
A multidisciplinary team may be created by the user of the outcome plan specifically to meet the needs of the particular plan. The user can add both agency workers and non-agency workers to the multidisciplinary team and can select the team member to fulfill the lead role. A history of the make up of the team is retained, i.e. when members have been added and removed from the team.
Once assigned to a multidisciplinary team, a non-agency team member can access any collaborative outcome plans to which the team have been assigned via the MDT Portal. However, there are several factors that determine the actual information within the collaborative outcome plan that the non-agency team member can view. Principle among these factors is sharing. Sharing may be applied to outcome plan notes, attachments and activities and is based on the governance model configured using the Cúram Administration Application (for more information see Multidisciplinary Teams section).
If sharing has been enabled, in addition to the creation of a collaborative outcome plan, a Collaboration navigation tab is added to the outcome plan navigation bar. The Collaboration tab contains the following two pages;
The content and functionality of this page depends upon the type of team that can be added to the outcome plan, i.e. predefined or ad hoc.
A list of discussions that have been raised concerning the outcome plan.
The Collaboration tab, and thus the pages contained within, are not displayed in the outcome plan if sharing is not enabled.
